THE LINE OF MARCH.
At about quarter to ten o'clock the
procession moved, headed by platoon
of mounted police, along Main street
north to the plaza, and as the various
portions passed the different localities OF
the town they were greeted with cheers
and considerable enthusiasm prevailed.
At the plaza the line turned and coun-
termarched to Temple street, where 1t
turned ifto Spring street. At this
point, although especially requested to
keep off the streets on the line OF the
procession, two one.horse cars driven by
stupid drivers stationed themselves,
when they knew the procession was
coming and they might have remained
on First street until after the parade
was over. As one of the wagons be-
longing to brewing company passed
the postoffice, the supports gave way
and the kegs rolled into the street, de-
laying O large part of the procession
for some time. The gap was closed up
later and the line proceeded down
Spring to Third, to Fort, to Fifth, to
the pavilion. where it disbanded. 1t
is estimated that forty thousand per.
sons witnessed the parade, in which
there were about five thousand persons,
including the business dispay.
THE DECORATIONS.
As stated yesterday, there was no
particular effort to decorate extensively,
but almost everybody made some dis
play, and the city was, therefore, more
generally decorated than on previous oc.
casions. On nearly every building was
a hagpole, on the top of which the
American flag foated in the gentle wind
which prevailed during the day. These
with the strings of flags across the
streets added greatly to the patriotic ap.
pearance of the city and gave it the
holiday look that was SO enthusing.
The fronts of the houses were also deco.
rated.

Ebinger's bakery, on the corner of
